The observation that low total cholesterol predicted poor survival in patients with chronic heart failure, has questioned the beneficial effect of lipid-lowering in this population. This study investigated the relation between lipoprotein concentrations and the levels of interleukin (IL)-6, tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and the soluble TNF-alpha receptors in patients with chronic heart failure due to coronary artery disease (CAD) or idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDCM).
